it wouldnt be heavy no, i think about the same as it already is, i think the technique is to basically "coat" plastic in a thin film of metal, this just adds strengh and makes it feels better! Although i suppose i could be made from pure metal, the weight of a phone has never really bothered me anyway (within reason!)

With the right machines, you could make covers out of almost any strip metal. And then, say a plastic cover is maybe 3 grams, and a metal one maybe 30 grams (probably closer to 15). Then the phone would be at most 27 grams heavier. I wouldn't mind. I like to feel it hanging in my pocket. A stainless steel cover would cost about 10 cents in material! But you could also use recycled metal like old copper, tin or even silver and gold if you want to go all the freaking way. Damn, just can't get this out of my mind. If I had the cash I would get me some second hand machinery just for experimenting.

Rolling is used for expansion exhausts. You're lucky that the Netherlands has so many moped-enthusiasts, who build their own exhausts. I'd try asking around about a 'conus-roller' if I were you, probably should have no problem finding someone who'll let you use his.
